"\nMontreal\u2019s rising R&B artist Myles Lloyd<\/a> raises the anticipation for his forthcoming album \u201cI\u2019m Still Thinking\u201d (expected November 21) with the release of his sleek new single, \u201cGrapevine.\u201d Built on pulsing 808s and velvet-smooth melodies, the track highlights Lloyd\u2019s ability to balance emotional pull with effortless allure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKnown for weaving vulnerability into polished, atmospheric production, Lloyd has carved out a signature lane in modern R&B \u2014 one that bridges classic soul sensibilities with early 2000s influence and contemporary pop sheen. His music speaks to anyone navigating love, pressure, self-doubt, and the constant hum of your own thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn \u201cI\u2019m Still Thinking,\u201d Lloyd turns inward. The album moves through the complex emotions of anxiety, desire, heartbreak, and self-preservation, with each track unfolding like a late-night conversation with yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Photo credit: Saem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe confident, seductive world of \u201cGrapevine\u201d contrasts the cool introspection of songs like \u201cCold,\u201d reflecting the emotional duality driving the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201c\u2018Grapevine\u2019 is about tuning out the gossip and tuning into the grind,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cI\u2019d rather pour a glass of red wine and build my legacy than waste time proving myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe record follows the massive success of Lloyd\u2019s breakout single \u201cDrive Me Crazy,\u201d which has now surpassed 21 million streams and earned an unexpected boost when K-pop group ENHYPEN shared it with fans, pushing the song into South Korea\u2019s Top 200. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oN45jzBT1_8\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAt just 27, Lloyd is steadily building a discography marked by growth and intention, including \u201cGoodbye\u201d (2019), \u201cForever, Yours\u201d (2022), and \u201cWHAT MORE CAN I SAY?\u201d (2024), along with standout festival performances at Lollapalooza Berlin and Sol Blume.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nHis ascent has earned attention from multiple outlets, each noting his evolving presence in the next wave of R&B.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cGrapevine\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/ffm.to\/myles-lloyd-grapevine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nPre-save \u201cI\u2019m Still Thinking\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/ffm.to\/imstillthinking<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Photo credit: Erwan Blazka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTechno-pop provocateur Sam Quealy<\/a> has announced her second album \u201cJAWBREAKER,\u201d set for release January 30, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nExpanding the glamorous chaos of her debut while leaning into richer textures and emotional clarity, the new record sees Quealy layering lush dance-pop production with shimmering melodies and razor-sharp theatricality. Sensual, satirical, and explosively hyper-feminine, \u201cJAWBREAKER\u201d positions Quealy as a pop shapeshifter who thrives in contradiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo mark the announcement, Quealy has shared \u201cLove Lasso\u201d \u2014 a hypnotic, high-drama single driven by deep bass, swirling synths, and a pulsing club heartbeat. The track explores the irresistible pull of a relationship that keeps looping back on itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIts accompanying video leans fully into Quealy\u2019s signature visual maximalism: she arrives on horseback, facing down a lineup of male bodybuilders \u2014 and wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/0MamMKoT9W8\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nQuealy\u2019s emerging cult icon status stems from her ability to blend spectacle and sincerity. A singer, rapper, dancer, and performance artist, she occupies the rare space between pop star and avant-garde showgirl. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHer debut album \u201cBlonde Venus\u201d put her firmly on the international map, earning praise from Vogue France, Harper\u2019s Bazaar France, Les Inrocks, and more, alongside standout performances at Solidays, Dour, Flow Festival, Fusion, Montreux Jazz Festival, and tours supporting Yelle and La Femme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\u201cLove Lasso\u201d Single Art<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn \u201cJAWBREAKER,\u201d Quealy embraces more live instrumentation, giving the songs a radiant sense of scale and emotional warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis album still has the nihilistic feel of the first record, but there\u2019s a lightness and positivity as well,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen there\u2019s so much depressing news all the time, I wanted to create something that makes everyone feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cLove Lasso\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/idol-io.ffm.to\/lovelasso<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSinger-songwriter Paitra<\/a> steps into her own with \u201cA Universal Feeling,\u201d a debut EP that brings together the sounds that have shaped her from childhood to now \u2014 folk, rock, psychedelic pop, and intimate songwriter storytelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nRather than settling into one lane, the record embraces multiplicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve never felt drawn to sticking within a single sound or box; each song brings out a different side of me, and I like to follow where the feelings and sounds lead,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRaised in Timmins, Ontario, Paitra grew up surrounded by the harmonies and mythic songwriting of Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young \u2014 influences that remain baked into her approach to melody and emotional openness. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter moving to Toronto in 2017, she began blending those classic textures with modern indie-pop production, shaping a sound that feels both familiar and entirely her own. Years of playing in bands eventually led to the launch of her solo project in 2023, where she finally found the freedom and clarity her voice had been reaching toward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe creation of the EP came with its own story. After nearly a year of searching for the right collaborator, Paitra found producer Tyler Fogerty (Hearty Har, John Fogerty), whose vision mirrored hers. But just as recording began in California, wildfires forced a sudden evacuation, leaving uncertainty in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the smoke cleared, the team reunited \u2014 bringing in a circle of musicians who helped shape the EP\u2019s warm, hazy glow. The result is a genre-blurring collection that moves between introspective stillness and bright, playful momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAcross the tracklist, Paitra reveals the full spectrum of her artistry: the self-reflective spiral of \u201cToo Stuck (In My Head)\u201d; the romantic dual-release \u201cLove Calls\u201d \/ \u201cI\u2019m Your Answer\u201d; and the EP\u2019s ethereal title track, where psychedelic textures and soft orchestration lift the record into something dreamlike.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith \u201cA Universal Feeling,\u201d Paitra introduces herself not just as a songwriter, but as a world-builder \u2014 one rooted in memory, curiosity, and the instinct to follow wherever the music leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cA Universal Feeling\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/a-universal-feeling-ep\/1831340064<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Photo credit: Timmy Henny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEmerging London-born folk artist Seth Tabatznik<\/a> returns with \u201cShining For Love\u201d, out today via Moth Music (Mother Of The Heart).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThough he only began releasing music in 2024, Tabatznik has already made a notable impression: his recent single \u201cChoose To Be Alive\u201d earned support from CLASH Magazine, while his early catalog has surpassed 100,000 streams. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHis move into live performance has been just as successful, with sold-out debut shows at Boschendal Estate in South Africa and Green Note in London\u2019s Camden. With a second album set for 2026, he is fast becoming a compelling new presence in contemporary indie-folk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nRooted in both London and the mountain landscapes of South Africa\u2019s Western Cape, Tabatznik\u2019s music draws on place, reflection, and spiritual grounding. His sound blends acoustic folk and medicine music, offering intimate vocals and earthy textures shaped by mentor Nick Mulvey, as well as long-time guitar teacher Rainer Scheurenbrand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cShining For Love\u201d is a quiet hymn to nature\u2019s generosity, carried by atmospheric guitars, devotional strings, and soft, grounding percussion. The track lifts and unfurls as it moves \u2014 an offering, rather than a declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me,\u201d Tabatznik said. \u201cIt was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple 4 chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration for life, love and nature.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith \u201cShining For Love,\u201d Tabatznik continues to shape a body of work rooted in presence, reverence, and quiet transformation \u2014 marking him as one to watch in the evolving folk landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cShining For Love\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/ditto.fm\/shining-for-love<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Photo credit: Noah Hoffman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEthereal singer-songwriter Ana Luna<\/a> unveils her debut album, \u201cTainted Silhouettes\u201d \u2014 a nine-track collection that captures the raw interior of heartbreak, self-reflection, and emotional rebirth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe album gathers past singles \u201cDance in a Trance,\u201d \u201cDaddy\u2019s Empire,\u201d \u201cCan We Pretend We Just Met at a Bar?\u201d and \u201cBleeding Pen,\u201d alongside five new tracks that expand and deepen her sonic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAcross the record, Ana Luna leans into lush, cinematic arrangements and vocals that flicker between whisper-soft confessions and soaring intensity. \u201cTainted Silhouettes\u201d reads like a diary interrupted by dream sequences \u2014 memories twisted into myth, wounds examined in soft light. The music does not shy away from pain; it studies it, honors it, and transforms it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cWhen it came time to produce the songs, I had one goal: to make them raw but cinematic,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted the music to feel like a movie, like your emotions, which are intangible, had suddenly become something you could touch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nBorn in Ukraine, raised in Paris, and now based in Los Angeles, Ana Luna\u2019s sound blends dream pop, alt-rock, and atmospheric balladry into something sultry, cinematic, and intensely personal. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter years of writing quietly in the background while pursuing acting, \u201cTainted Silhouettes\u201d marks her arrival as an artist with a fully formed voice \u2014 one that lingers long after the last note fades.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cTainted Silhouettes\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/onerpm.link\/277169347188<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>Photo credit: Wall of Sound PR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBrighton trio PROJECTOR<\/a> have released a new live performance of their single \u201cHope Springs Eternal,\u201d captured as part of the renowned Tilehouse Sessions series.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe track \u2014 a snarling, slow-burn slice of distortion-heavy grunge that erupts into something unexpectedly melodic \u2014 appears on the band\u2019s second album \u201cContempt,\u201d out now via Alcopop!

The EP is mastered by Aneek Thapar (Rival Consoles, Max Cooper), bringing a refined clarity to its expansive sonic palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe electronic moniker of B Laws, FENRA reflects a life spent absorbing music from many angles \u2014 from hymns sung beside his grandmother in California, to years touring internationally on guitar, synths, vocals, and drums. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNow based in Portland, he channels these layers into a sound both intimate and cinematic. His influences range from Caribou, Four Tet, Floating Points, Bonobo, and DJ Koze to the restrained elegance of Philip Glass and the soulful depth of Gloria Ann Taylor \u2014 touchpoints that shape his atmospheric, rhythm-led compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn \u201cDEEPCUT,\u201d FENRA lets the track unfurl with patience and precision. A skewed synth motif winds through shuffling percussion and airy textures, gradually building momentum. Near the halfway point, a subtle, elastic bassline slides in, shifting the track from meditative drift into a warm, hypnotic groove \u2014 a moment that feels both inevitable and quietly ecstatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201c\u2018DEEPCUT\u2019 opens with a skewed synth melody over strings and atmospheric textures, building tension slowly before revealing its full shape,\u201d FERNA said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most energetic tracks on the EP, but I wanted it to take its time \u2014 the bassline doesn\u2019t arrive until almost three minutes in, when the track finally locks into place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith \u201cDelusional,\u201d FENRA steps into focus as a producer exploring the emotional edges of electronic music \u2014 music built for late nights, solitary walks, and the precise moment when memory becomes feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStream \u201cDEEPCUT\u201d<\/strong>: https:\/\/orcd.co\/deepcut_<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n"
